Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
When he was a youngster the then all-conquering All Stars Stables rated Aladdin as their best, and when early into his 3-year-old season he ran 3rd in the Group 1 Sires Stakes at Addington beating home the later Derby winners American Dealer and Krug, and then won the rich and prestigious Harness Million at Alexandra […]
On Monday South Australian trainers Sue and Jason Jaensch made the long trek over the border from Murray Bride to Hamilton with their former Team Hayes trained maiden galloper Hadar, and took plenty of the folding stuff in their pockets with them to keep them company on the drive. They unloaded it in the 3rd […]
For reasons known only to the South Australians the photo-finish camera wasn’t working for the first two races at Friday’s meeting at Bordertown. As a result the Stewards ruled that the judge would determine the placings by eye. That became a whole lot harder than it might have been when two runners crossed the finish […]
Race 1 at Gawler yesterday served as another demonstration of the ineptness of the people currently running harness racing in South Australia, and why they need a good kick up the arse. Or so it seemed anyway. The race was a 2yo trot. Now anyone who has been around the trots for five minutes or […]
Long-term subscribers to this site will remember the case of the ring-in at Globe Derby in September 2021, when one horse from the Shane Loone stable was substituted for another in a race, and then the ringer went out and set the race up for another Loone horse by attacking the leader and favorite in […]

Dear Mr. Butterfly Thank you for reaching out to HRSA. May I point out this has not been a common practice by you in the past with a number of abhorrent, false, and misleading stories published by yourself in relation to South Australian harness racing in recent times. Shame on you. If you would like […]
The Naomi Kerr trained Prioritise eased out in the market from $1.60 out to $3.40 in the 5th race at Port Pirie last night, which seemed odd for a pacer that had won its past three on end at the stronger class track in Mildura. It didn’t take long to find out why it blew […]
Globe Derby was shut down for racing on the 1st of July when work began on remediating the track. It was supposed to be a relatively simple exercise. Lift a couple of inches off the top of the surface and put down a new one, and build a 628 meter training track in the infield […]
SA Racing CEO Vaughn Lynch’s statement about the abandonment of the Bordertown races debacle on Sunday raises far more questions than it does provide answers. The Bordertown meeting was due to kick off with race 1 scheduled to jump at 12.40 pm. It was not cancelled until 2.00pm, ten minutes after the scheduled start time […]
